Imagery Analyst
GEOINT · IMAGERY EXPLOITATION · ALEXANDRIA, VA · ON-SITE
Geo Owl is looking for experienced Imagery Analysts who are ready to contribute from day one. This is a hands-on exploitation role supporting a Northern Virginia intelligence contract — you'll produce dynamic GEOINT products, apply multi-spectral and soft copy exploitation tradecraft, and fuse multiple data sources into analysis that informs real decisions. If you have the training, the clearance, and five-plus years of experience, we want to hear from you.
Role Overview
The Imagery Analyst applies formal imagery analysis training and operational exploitation experience to produce GEOINT products that meet government standards. You'll exploit soft copy and multi-spectral imagery, leverage a suite of approved exploitation systems, incorporate multiple data sources, and deliver finished analysis with strong time management under operational tempo. The right candidate is ready to contribute with minimal ramp-up and can start within 30 days.
